Officers found the man seated on a couch, his hands behind his back, when they responded to a 4 a.m. call from the man's brother, who said he'd seen the gun on a coffee table, said Capt. Francesco Aquila, the officer in charge of the department.

"At first, the subject was uncooperative, refusing to show both of his hands after repeated commands to do so," Aquila said.

"At one point the subject removed his right hand from behind the pillow and one officer drew his Taser," the captain said. "The subject then again placed his hand behind the pillow."
